Those fenders are quite blingy to me, looking good bud. Ah, and the cut in the finger, the mark of a real man Cheers

Cheers Wouts Can`t beat the odd war wound during construction Defo, I remember during the first year I started I first got a very deep cut in my right thumb, soon to be followed by my left thumb...what's that saying with a fox and a snare? Cheers

Ok chaps....slow going but a bit more done... Other etch fender done plus loads of other bits of etch here and there, one of the large tool boxes has been built and attached........needed plenty of fettling to get it lookin` reasonable and then some etch added here and there, re-done the pipework to the rear as i were`nt happy with the way it looked....i used some wire to form much neater lines than just curving it round as in the previous pics, some air tank work added and now i`ll move onto the other tool box and etch bits `n` stuff, also the etch jerry can holder under the fender.......still got the other to do yet!! More etch has been added to the rear end of the frame.........hard to see coz it`s the silver etch rather than the brass
The earlier pipe work...
and after a re-do...
Oh well..........back to slaving over a hot file/knife and sandpaper etc
Cheers chapsies
